Using Horizontal Displays for Distributed and Collocated Agile Planning

  • Conference paper
Agile Processes in Software Engineering and Extreme Programming (XP 2007)

Abstract

Computer-supported environments for agile project planning are often limited by the capability of the hardware to support collaborative work. We present DAP, a tool developed to aid distributed and collocated teams in agile planning meetings. Designed with a multi-client architecture, it works on standard desktop computers and digital tables. Using digital tables, DAP emulates index card based planning without requiring team members to be in the same room.
